To Honorable James Wilson, whose earnest and energetic 
efforts as Member of Congress largely contributed to the suc- 
cess of the act establishing the Bureau of Animal Industry, and 
whose counsel and encouragement as Secretary of Agriculture 
have been most important factors in bringing the Bureau to its 
present condition of development and usefulness, this book is 
respectfully dedicated.

PREFACE. 

It has been very gratifying to be able to prepare, in the last days 
of the Nineteenth Century, an appropriate souvenir of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry as it exists at this time. There have been many im- 
portant duties committed to this Bureau, some were educational, some 
consisted in the protection of property, others in the preservation of our 
export trade, and still others in alleviating animal suffering and in guard- 
ing the public health. To the development and guidance of this Bureau 
during its earlier and more critical period, the Author has given the best 
years of his life. From its establishment he has given the questions 
which have arisen in connection with this service his constant study. 
The utility of the service and its conservative direction are made evident 
by the growth and popularity of the Bureau from its organization to the 
present time. 

There are comparatively few persons who know of the great work 
which this Bureau has accomplished in scientific research, in the eradica- 
tion of animal diseases, in guarding against the importation of exotic 
plagues, in preserving our export trade in animals and animal products, 
in opening new markets for these products in foreign lands, and, above 
all, in protecting the health of our people by the condemnation and de- 
struction of diseased meat. This work is so widely distributed and is 
carried on so quietly without ostentation or display that it has not at- 
tracted the public notice which its importance deserves. Nor have the 
members of the staff who have been cooperating for years had an op- 
portunity to form a general acquaintance with each other. It has, there- 
fore, appeared extremely desirable to collect and bring together, in one 
volume, a brief account of this work, and such portraits and biographi- 
cal notes of those engaged in this service at the end of the century 
as could be obtained. 

No individual, by his unaided efforts, could have achieved success 
in the preparation of this volume. The undertaking has been much 
more extensive and exacting than was anticipated ; and it has been only 
through the generous and cordial cooperation of those engaged in the 
Bureau service that it is possible to present the completed book within 
a reasonable time from the inception of the plan. To all who have 
aided in any manner to make this volume worthy of the Bureau and its 
great work, the Author extends the assurance of his sincere appreciation.

THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 



The Bureau of Animal Industry was established by an act of 
Congress approved May 29, 1884. This act provided for a chief, a clerk, 
and " a force sufficient for this purpose, not to exceed twenty persons at 
any one time." 

WHY THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY WAS ESTABLISHED. 

The immediate cause of the establishment of this Bureau was the 
urgent need by the Federal Government of reliable official information 
concerning the nature and prevalence of animal diseases and of the 
means required to control and to eradicate them, and, also, the necessity 
of having an executive agency to put into effect the measures necessary 
to stop the spread of disease and to protect the animal industry of the 
nation. 

Our exported cattle and sheep had recently been refused admission 
into Great Britain and condemned to slaughter upon the docks where 
landed because of alleged contagious diseases in this country dangerous 
to foreign live stock. Our pork had been prohibited entrance into most 
of the countries of continental Europe because it was alleged to be af- 
fected with trichinae, and, therefore, dangerous to the health and lives of 
the consumers. Twenty -five to thirty million dollars worth of hogs were 
dying each year from contagious disease. Cattle raisers were in a con- 
dition bordering upon panic from fear of Texas fever and contagious 
pleuro -pneumonia, and State restrictions intended to guard against these 
diseases were seriously interfering with interstate traffic in bovine 
animals. Sheep raising had become precarious in many sections because 
of scab and other parasitic diseases. 

These injurious conditions were so burdensome, and aroused such 
apprehensions of far greater losses in the future, that there was an agita- 
tion and repeated demands for governmental assistance which culminated 
in 1884 in the enactment of the organic act of this Bureau. 

The losses from diseases among animals had long been great, and 
the second Commissioner of Agriculture had occasion to call attention, 
in his second and third annual reports, to " the prevalence of fatal mala- 
dies among all varieties of farm animals, resulting in the annual loss of 
not less than fifty million dollars." In 1870, Commissioner Capron re- 
newed the subject, referring particularly to a forthcoming report upon 
pleuro -pneumonia and Texas fever, diseases then prevalent and recently 
investigated under the supervision of the Department. He says in his 
annual report : 

"The value of stock lost annually from disease is enormous, and 



threatens not only to decimate our animals, but to expose the human 
family to disease from the consumption of unwholesome meats." 

Here was an early recognition not only of the importance of under- 
standing- and controlling animal diseases, but of the still greater neces- 
sity of protecting the consumer of meats from products contaminated by 
disease and therefore unwholesome. In other words, it was a recog- 
nition of the growing need of meat inspection. 

THE ERADICATION OF PEEURO-PNEUMONIA. 

The most pressing duty devolving upon the new Bureau was the 
control and eradication of the contagious pleuro -pneumonia of cattle, 
a disease which had been already the cause of restrictions upon our ex- 
ported cattle, and which, it appeared, might soon lead to the entire 
prohibition of this branch of the export trade. Notwithstanding the 
urgent demand for effective work, the authority given at first was most 
inadequate. It was not until 1887 that the Bureau was allowed to em- 
ploy a sufficient force and to use its appropriation properly for stamping 
out the disease. By this time, the contagion, which had been found 
prior to 1884 in only a few States on the Atlantic seaboard, had spread 
to Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri, and threatened to cover such 
a large area as to be uncontrollable. 

By hard and systematic work, however, persisted in for five years, 
pleuro -pneumonia was completely eradicated, and since early in 1892 no 
case of this disease has been discovered in the United States. This first 
work in which the Bureau was engaged was remarkable in its results, 
because it succeeded in a very few years in accomplishing what other 
countries, such as Great Britain, France, Germany, and Belgium, had 
labored for years to do, without success. 

During the period which elapsed between the creation of the Bureau 
in 1884 and the complete eradication of pleuro -pneumonia in 1892, the 
scientific work of the Bureau had been pressed forward vigorously. 
The germs of hog cholera and swine plague were discovered and care- 
fully studied, and Texas fever, the most mysterious of diseases at the 
time its investigation was commenced, was thoroughly elucidated by the 
discovery of the cause and the method of dissemination by means of the 
cattle tick. 

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS. 

In the study of the hog cholera bacillus, it was shown that this 
germ produces some substance, in the liquids in which it is grown, 
which is capable of conferring immunity upon animals when injected 
beneath the skin. The establishment of this new principle gave an im- 
petus to the study of immunity in all parts of the world and led to the 
discovery of the various toxins and antitoxins which are now so largely 
used in both human and veterinary medicine. 

The demonstration that a contagious disease, such as Texas fever, 
was caused by one of the protozoa, and that this organism was trans- 
ferred from animal to animal by a second parasite, the southern cattle 
tick, opened up another new field in medicine, which has led to the dis- 
covery that the malarial parasite and probably the organism of yellow 

10 



fever are transmitted from man to man by mosquitoes. While many 
other discoveries have been made during the investigations carried on 
by the Bureau, the two just mentioned, because they were so unexpected 
and differed so widely from accepted theories, have had a greater influ- 
ence on the progress of medical knowledge than any others. 

MEAT INSPECTION. 

The year 1891 marks the beginning of a second era in the Bureau of 
Animal Industry, because it was then that Congress enacted legislation 
establishing the Federal meat inspection service and the inspection and 
regulation of vessels carrying export cattle from the ports of the United 
States to foreign countries. The meat inspection act directs the Secre- 
tary of Agriculture to inspect, previous to their slaughter, all cattle, 
sheep, and swine, the carcasses of which are to be disposed of through 
the interstate or foreign trade, and authorizes him, in his discretion, to 
make a post-mortem inspection. This enormous undertaking, which 
was added to the many other duties of the Bureau, was designed to pro- 
tect our domestic consumers from the meat of diseased animals, and at 
the same time to enable the Government to certify to the wholesomeness 
of exported meats. It was specially provided that no beef should be 
allowed to go abroad unless it had been inspected, and was certified as 
free from disease. 

The magnitude of this work was probably not appreciated by Con- 
gress at the time the legislation was enacted, although the desirability 
of such an inspection is incontestable. Owing to the great extent of 
our territory and the enormous number of animals slaughtered, it was 
impossible to at once cover the whole country. It was necessary to in- 
struct inspectors and devise a system of administration with proper safe- 
guards. Beginning at a comparatively few abattoirs, the service has 
been gradually extended until it is now established in 45 cities and 
covers the product of 148 abattoirs. 

The growth of the meat inspection service is shown by the following 
table, which gives the number of animals inspected before slaughter 
from 1891 to 1900, and indicates the enormous number of animals that 
are annually slaughtered in the United States for the preparation of 
food products :

MICROSCOPIC INSPECTION OF PORK FOR EXPORT. 

In 1881 our pork was prohibited entrance into Germany, France, 
and the principal countries of the continent of Europe, on the ground 
that it was infested by trichinae and was injurious to human health. 

Although it could not be shown that our pork had caused disease, 
and notwithstanding the most vigorous protests by the American Gov- 
ernment, the trade was crushed and destroyed. The year before the 
prohibition went into effect we sold to France 70,000,000 pounds and to 
Germany 43,000,000 pounds. 

For ten years our pork was shut out of nearly every market of con- 
tinental Europe, when, in 1891, the Bureau began the microscopic in- 
spection and certification of pork destined for the markets of the pro- 
hibiting countries. This action led to the removal of the prohibitions, 
but the restoration of the trade was a slow and difficult process. Our 
brands of meat were no longer familiar to the people of those countries, 
commercial connections had been severed, and requirements as to cuts 
and cures had materially changed. It was like introducing an article 
into a country for the first time. Moreover, the prohibition had en- 
gendered suspicion of our products, while the agitation had established 
prejudice and antipathy. There were vexatious and burdensome re- 
strictions by both the general and municipal governments, with ill -con- 
cealed hostility and every form of annoyance on the part of many 
officials. 

Notwithstanding such adverse conditions, the trade with these 
countries was gradually regained, as is seen from the following table, 
which gives the quantity of pork, microscopically inspected, that has 
been sold each year in prohibiting countries since the inspection began :

The difficulties encountered in the inauguration of this system of 
inspection were very serious. There had been no microscopic inspection 
on a large scale in America, and we had neither the appliances nor 
trained inspectors. The microscopes and apparatus used in the German 
inspection were considered too clumsy and not adapted to accurate and 
rapid work. An American type of microscope was, therefore, selected, 



12 



the grooved stage was adopted to insure the examination of every part 
of the specimen, and a special form of compressor was used. 

The packers were averse to the inspection because they feared it 
would delay their business and damage their meat. They thought it 
would be impossible to examine any considerable quantity of pork with- 
out causing them serious inconvenience. These fears proved to be 
groundless. The work of the abattoirs has not been obstructed nor has 
the meat been injured. On the contrary, the success of the microscopic 
inspection has been such that, when the market is favorable, there are 
the most urgent appeals for its extension. 

INSPECTION, TAGGING, AND CERTIFICATION OF EXPORT ANIMALS. 

The fear expressed by foreign governments of the introduction of 
pleuro -pneumonia, Texas fever, and other contagious diseases with 
animals from the United States made it necessary to adopt some method 
by which the history of the cattle exported could be ascertained, and 
the animals inspected, numbered, and recorded, so that a certificate could 
be issued showing freedom from contagion or exposure to contagion. 
Accordingly, a system of inspection was adopted under the act approved 
August 30, 1890- A numbered tag was placed in the ear of all cattle, 
and a certificate of health issued for such animals. Sheep were also in- 
spected, and more recently (1899) horses have been included. 

The number of animals inspected and exported is seen by the follow- 
ing table :

By these measures the agitation against the landing of American 
live stock in Great Britain has been met and quieted. The trade has 
been preserved, and has given a greatly needed outlet for meat -produc- 
ing animals during the years when the surplus of such stock was great- 
est. The exportation of horses is comparatively a recently established 
traffic, and has been growing rapidly. It was early met with hostility; 
and threats of prohibition, on the ground of glanders affecting the ani- 
mals when they entered foreign countries, led to the establishment of an 
inspection of these animals. 



13 



REGULATION OF SHIPS THAT CARRY EXPORT ANIMAES. 

Another danger that menaced our export trade had its origin in the 
xnproperly fitted ships and in the alleged cruel treatment ot animals 
on shipboard. In the early years of the transatlantic traffic, before 
the large and commodious cattle boats of the present day were con- 
structed, these animals were largely carried on " tramp " ships, — vessels 
which were not engaged in a regular trade, but which were sent from 
port to port after such cargo as could be obtained. As such ships might 
not carry cattle on more than one or two voyages a year, they had only 
temporary cattle fittings, and were without conveniences for supplying 
the proper quantities of food and water. The pens were so insecure and 
so exposed that frequently both fittings and cattle were washed over- 
board. The attendants were often inexperienced and worthless. The 
space was overcrowded. The ventilation was insufficient. The boats 
were occasionally unseaworthy. 

As a result of these conditions, reports frequently reached the pub- 
lic of ships arriving in British ports after an unusually long voyage, 
with the feed and water exhausted and the animals dying from hunger 
and thirst. Sometimes during storms it was necessary to fasten down 
the hatches, and then, it was alleged, that, on account of insufficient 
ventilation, large numbers of animals would die asphyxiated. Again, 
it occasionally happened that, in heavy seas, the weight of the cattle 
would be thrown upon the halters with such force that the fastenings 
would give way and the animals be mixed and jammed together in the 
greatest confusion. If the attendants were inexperienced, or, for any 
cause, unequal to the occasion, some of the animals would be crushed 
and trampled to death, others would be bruised and maimed, and the 
general appearance of those landed would make a most unfavorable im- 
pression. 

Such occurrences could scarcely fail to attract the attention of hu - 
mane people abroad, particularly when the sentiment of humanity was 
intensified by the desire to limit American competition. The barbarities 
of the transatlantic cattle traffic were described in language glowing 
with indignation and horror, the cruelties were exaggerated and multi- 
plied, atrocities were described that never were committed, and illus- 
trated pamphlets were prepared and circulated in order that the full 
power of sensationalism might be invoked. As a result of this agita- 
tion, a bill was presented to the British Parliament to prohibit the im- 
portation of live cattle from beyond the seas, and the Queen was 
strongly urged, in the name of humanity, to use her influence to secure 
its passage. 

This emergency was met by the act of March 3, 1891, authorizing 
the Secretary of Agriculture to enforce necessary regulations to secure 
the safe carriage and humane treatment of cattle exported from the 
United States. Careful investigations were at once made by the Bureau 
of Animal Industry and regulations formulated which were acceptable 
to the British Government. The rigid enforcement of such regulations 
led to the withdrawal of the poorer class of ships from this trade, since 
they could not compete with the regular liners if compelled to fit in a 

14 



safe and comfortable style. Magnificent iron cattle -ships were con- 
structed, with permanent fittings, and having all the comfort, conveni- 
ence, and safety which human ingenuity could provide- The losses of 
cattle in transit were soon reduced to the minimum of about one -third 
of 1 per cent. Tne cattle were unloaded in as good condition, as vig- 
orous, and healthy as they were when they went on board As a result 
of the improved conditions, and the greatly diminished losses, insurance 
rates were reduced from $8 and upwards per head of exported cattle to 
less than $1 per head. This saving of insurance alone, with an average 
exportation of 325,000 head, amounts to $2,275,000 per year, nearly 
three times the entire cost of maintaining the Bureau. 

INSPECTION AND QUARANTINE OF IMPORTED ANIMALS. 

If the eradication of contagious diseases is important — and this is a 
proposition scarcely admitting of question — it is no less important to 
stop the importation of contagion with animals coming into the country. 
Accordingly, one of the first steps taken for the control of contagious 
diseases among animals was the establishment of quarantine stations at 
the principal Atlantic ports, where imported animals might be detained 
until there was no longer any danger of the development of disease from 
exposure to contagion in other countries. These stations were at first 
under the direction of the Treasury Department, but soon after the 
organization of the Bureau of Animal Industry they were transferred to 
its control. 

It was only the realization that pleuro- pneumonia had been allowed 
to spread to a considerable though unknown extent among our herds, 
and had caused serious restrictions to be placed upon our export cattle 
trade, that led our Government to take even this first step for the protec- 
tion of American live stock. We had taken the risk of importing the 
most destructive plagues for years without giving them much thought. 
Our people, always buoyant and optimistic, and never willing to con- 
sider danger or admit the possibility of trouble until it is upon them, 
could not be induced to guard against the danger to which they were ex- 
posed until they had actually experienced some of the inconvenience 
and loss which come from the neglect of such precautions. The estab- 
lishment of quarantine stations furnished the necessary means to exclude 
further importations of contagion, and permitted us to undertake the 
eradication of pleuro -pneumonia with confidence that when the exist- 
ing centers of the disease had been discovered and stamped out we 
should not be troubled by new outbreaks caused by imported cattle. 

Three stations are maintained on the Atlantic coast — one at the port 
of Boston, one at New York, and one at Baltimore- In the early years 
of these stations, several importations of animals affected with foot-and- 
mouth disease were detected, and one importation of pleuro -pneumonia 
was discovered in the Canadian quarantine. During recent years certifi- 
cates of healthfulness and freedom from exposure have been required to 
accompany imported animals, and permits for importation are refused 
for animals from countries in which dangerous contagious diseases are 
prevalent. 

15 



The inspection system has been extended so as to include the 
frontiers bordering upon both Canada and Mexico. The principal 
problems in this case are to prevent the importations of animals carry- 
ing the contagion of glanders, tuberculosis, sheep scab, and Texas fever. 
Tuberculosis is the most difficult to detect, and, in order to guard against 
it so far as possible, cattle for breeding or dairy purposes are tested with 
tuberculin. This test is also applied to cattle imported through the At- 
lantic ports. 

Notwithstanding the numerous sources of disease in countries from 
which animals are imported, and the vast numbers of such animals 
which are annually brought to our country from abroad, the Bureau has 
successfully protected our animal industry from this danger. 

DISTRIBUTION OF LABORATORY PRODUCTS FOR THE CONTROL 

OF DISEASE. 

A great work has been done by the Bureau in the preparation of 
certain laboratory products used in controlling animal diseases. The 
preparation of tuberculin was undertaken soon after its discovery, and 
this article and mallein have been furnished to State authorities to be 
used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and glanders. More recently the 
manufacture and distribution of a vaccine for blackleg in cattle has 
been very successfully conducted, and more than one million doses are 
now used per annum. These laboratory products are made at very little 
expense to the Government and have become essential in combating the 
diseases mentioned. 

DAIRY WORK. 

One of the most important sections of the animal industry is that 
devoted to dairying — the production of milk, butter, and cheese. Recog- 
nizing the great amount of capital invested in such work, a dairy di- 
vision was created in the Bureau, and efforts have been made to collect 
and distribute information, to keep in touch with those engaged in the 
industry, and to assist in building up an export trade to foreign coun- 
tries. The success of this line of work is unquestioned. The dairy 
bulletins have done much in an educational way, and the experimental 
exports of dairy products have demonstrated the excellence of American 
dairy products- 

PRESENT ORGANIZATION OF THE BUREAU. 

In 1891 it was found that the growth and extension of the work of 
the Bureau made it desirable that it should be reorganized into a number 
of distinct divisions, in order that it might be better systematized and 
directed. There have been formed, up to the present time, the following 
divisions : 

(l) The inspection division, to which is assigned work of an execu- 
tive nature, including the eradication of contagious diseases, the inspec- 
tion of export and import animals, meat inspection, vessel inspection, 
and the regulation of the movement of Southern cattle (to prevent the 
spread of Texas fever). 

16 



(2) The pathological division, which is principally engaged in in- 
vestigating the diseases among domesticated animals to determine their 
nature, cause, and treatment, together with the most practical method of 
prevention. 

(3) The biochemic division, to which is assigned the chemical prob- 
lems arising during the investigation of disease and the preparation of 
tuberculin, mallein, and the various serums for the prevention and cure

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



WASHINGTON. D. C. 



OFFICE OF THE CHIEF. 



Daniel Elmer Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, was born 
at Mount Olive, Morris County, N. J., July 23, 1850. His early life was passed 
partly on a farm and partly as a clerk in a country store. Was educated at the 
Mount Olive district school, Chester Institute, Eastman Business College, and 
Cornell University. He entered Cornell University at its opening in 1868, being 
a member of its first freshman class. Here he became acquainted with Prof. 
James Law, who had just come to America to fill the chair of veterinary science 
in this new and progressive institution, and after consulting with him decided 
to take the scientific course for the first year and after that gradually take up 
veterinary studies, with a view of graduating from that department at the end 
of four years. This plan was substantially carried out, but as the clinical 
facilities at Ithaca at that time were not as extensive as were desirable, he was 
allowed to attend the Alfort Veterinary School, Paris, during the last six months 
of his course without prejudice to his standing at Cornell University. He was 
graduated at Cornell in 1872 with the degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Science. 
He was married the same year to Mary Thompson Corning, of Ithaca, and began 
veterinary practice in Newark, N. J. In 1875, on account of impaired health, he 
went to Asheville, N. C, for the benefit of the southern mountain climate. In 
1876 he received from Cornell the advanced degree of Doctor of Veterinary 
Medicine. In 1877 he delivered a course of lectures on veterinary science in the 
University of Georgia. 

The appropriation of $10,000 in 1878 for the investigation of animal diseases 
led to his appointment for a period of two months to study the diseases of swine. 
He was appointed an inspector of the State of New York in 1879 to serve on the 
staff of Professor Law in the effort to stamp out the contagious pleuro-pneumo- 
nia of cattle. Here he had an opportunity by daily observation to acquire a 
thorough knowledge of the disease and of the methods of controlling it. This 
work was arrested in the autumn by the exhaustion of the appropriation, and he 
accepted an appointment from Commissioner Le Due of the United States De- 
partment of Agriculture to investigate animal diseases in the Southern States, 
with particular reference to Texas cattle fever. These investigations were the 
starting point of the scientific work conducted by Dr. Salmon, or under his direc- 
tion, concerning fowl cholera, the contagious diseases of swine, Texas fever, and 
the nodular disease of sheep, which have cleared up the principal points as to the 
cause, nature and control of these diseases. 

Early in 1883 he was called to Washington by Commissioner Loring to estab- 
lish a veterinary division in the Department of Agriculture. Within a year Con- 
gress passed an act establishing the Bureau of Animal Industry, and Dr. Salmon 
was appointed Chief of this Bureau, a position which he has held uninterruptedly 
until the present time. His work in the Bureau of Animal Industry is briefly told 
in the sketch of the Bureau which appears elsewhere in this volume. The most 
important things accomplished are: 1. The complete eradication of the conta- 

283 



gious pleuropneumonia of cattle from the United States. 2. The study and con- 
irol of Texas fever. 3. The establishment of the Federal meat inspection serv- 
ice. 4. The establishment of the inspection of exported animals, and the ships 
carrying them, thus doing away with the cruel treatment and suffering which 
had been a startling feature of this traffic, reducing the losses and preserving 
the trade. 5. The preservation of the country from imported diseases by per 
fecting the system of inspecting and quarantining imported animals. 6. Th« 
scientific investigation of animal diseases, and their bearing upon public health 
questions. 

Dr. Salmon is an honorary Associate of the Royal College of Veterinary Sur- 
geons of Great Britain; Fellow of the American Association for the Advance- 
ment of Science; chairman of the committee on animal diseases and animal 
food of the American Public Health Association; ex-president and member of 
the executive committee of the American Veterinary Medical Association; mem- 
ber of the Washington Academy of Sciences, and of various other bodies de- 
voted to medical and general science.
